Australia's national science agency, conducting research across fields from astronomy and agriculture to energy, materials and biotechnology.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
CSIRO and Adelaide University found lab-made honeybee silk films were well tolerated in healing wounds, with much of the film breaking down in place. Versions engineered to fight infection in chronic wounds are the next stage and were outside this study.
Reality
Above-average June rain and a very wet August in Western Australia's Murchison brought carpets of wildflowers that Landsat 8 caught in late August, in a before-and-after pair where the ground is greener and the flowers themselves go uncounted.
Reality
A CSIRO team flies LiDAR over trial plots at Boorowa, then cuts and weighs the same square meters by hand. Eight months in, the published account describes promising results.
Reality
The depressions are 8 meters wide and 2 meters deep, and they cover more seafloor than the wreck itself. CSIRO's Ben Arthur said the same pock marks once led RV Investigator onto a wreck it had almost given up finding.
Reality
The Bureau of Meteorology says models put the current event ahead of anything in 76 years of reliable records. The Department of Agriculture's forecaster has three states falling 16% to 44% next season while Victoria and South Australia rise.
Reality
A Flinders University study in Marine Ecology used neutron activation analysis to track how acidified seawater changes what two diatom species take up, and the authors still want the carbon-pump consequence tested.
Reality
Injecting CO2-rich water into Western Australia's iron-rich basement could make hydrogen and mineralise carbon in the same rock, but CSIRO's geochemical modelling finds the hottest conditions favour the gas over the storage.
Reality
There are 162 sites operating and 90 more planned, and the BBC found households living 350m and 100m from the fence line. What the next approval round has to buy is not land or power but quiet.
Reality
Radio polarization from Murriyang and X-ray polarization from IXPE both stay locked to the magnetic field of 1E 1547.0-5408, which is what quantum electrodynamics predicts and what no accelerator has shown.
Reality
RV Investigator has returned to Brisbane with sonar maps of submerged rivers and beaches on the southern Great Barrier Reef, plus more than 20 sediment cores still to be read.
Reality
Observations of magnetar 1E 1547.0-5408 point to vacuum birefringence, the effect Heisenberg predicted in the 1930s. The team calls it a possible first detection, not a confirmed one.
